In the comments, Marbelina Matos who apparently lives in Havana says he is her youngest son, "Que bello mi hijo mas pequeño, se ven bien besos." Marlene Matos who lives in Miami also comments and elsewhere says she is Nestor's aunt.

The plot thickens!

I am fully prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on these strange disclosures and photographs, but that doesn't make me like him or his political antics.

I have an adopted son who is from a country in South America and who looks very much like Nestor. I would never refer to him as "my non-white son". Never. Did he really do that? I would also never infer to anyone that it was harder to raise my child or that I have some special insight that they don't have about raising a child.

Nestor looks white to me (caucasian, with roots in Spain which is Europe which is white). If he is mostly Spanish, he probably has European tribal roots (Iberians, Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks,Carthaginians, Basques) possibly Arab, and Jewish roots mixed in (because those were the groups that populated Spain). He is not "non-white". He is hispanic, but hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race.

Now that he has used his kid to make some kind of a statement, I think he has opened himself up to answering questions about his child rearing experience to which he alludes.

Exactly. Why mention his ‘son’s’ heritage at all, except to make some weird kind of political point? If Nestor is Gaetz’s biological son (which sounds reasonably plausible), why state that he is not related ‘by blood’? I can only imagine how Nestor must feel about all of this. I hate to think that there is something more nefarious going on, but Gaetz is such a loathsome creature that it’s hard to see him stepping up to raise a random child from another country, especially by himself. This is all very peculiar.

Yes. Was Nestor really adopted? I could believe that Gaetz had legal custody transferred from the aunt possibly, but doubt it was a legal adoption. Nestor's legal mother is most likely the woman in Cuba.

The “non-white son” thing is a continued response to the exchange between Gaetz and Rep. Cedric Richmond on the House floor yesterday here:

No adoption agency in the US would allow an adoption to a 27 year old who had DUI's. None. I really don't think Nestor was legally adopted. Is he eligible for health insurance through Gaetz's job?

So he and this woman had their “non white child” (seriously, that’s bizarre) when Matty was 19? That makes more sense.

It also makes it all the weirder that no one, besides Katie Hill, has ever heard of this kid until now, at 19.

Now it makes sense? Why doesn’t he just say this?

If this guy is “non-white,” then neither is half of southern Europe.

I have a friend who was raised by a family but it wasn't a legal adoption. It does happen and it's not necessarily nefarious (although it is murky legally).

But this is all very strange.

I guess Gaetz is too young to use the “he just carries my bags” line.

This season of Earth II has totally jumped the shark

The picture with the dog is interesting. I wonder if the woman in the picture is the boy's aunt? Or a cousin?

Who here has seen Meet the Fockers? This whole situation reminds me of the Focker kid situation. Lol

I think that's probably Nestor's sister.
